The new initiative, called "Neighborhood Safety Zones," allows D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier to designate areas where there have been an outbreak of violence.

Once an area is designated, signs and checkpoints will go up and neighbors will be notified. Any car trying to enter the designated neighborhood will be stopped, and drivers and passengers will have to produce identification. They will also have to give an explanation as to why they are there.

Interim D.C. Attorney General Peter Nickles says the "provisions are fully constitutional."

"Welcome to Baghdad, D.C.," says Art Spitzer with the ACLU. "In this country, you don't need identification papers and to give an explanation for why you want to go from one neighborhood to another."

D.C. Councilmember Phil Mendelson calls the tactics illegal.

What the hell? There is no requirement to carry ID on you all the time if you are a passenger in a car. That is some straight up bullshit.

Nowadays, in DC, there is such requirement.

And further, you'll have to tell where you're going. And why.

D.C., toughest gun laws in the country...highest crime rate in the country. See a pattern?

MOst of Europe already has this rule. ID cards are required on person at all times. Law is only enforced when you are stopped in a car (80 euro fine if no papers). Very rarely enforced on foot patrols, but the law is there if required. WW2 handover that has never gone away.

You guys are going to get lots of nice leftovers like this after the war on terror, if it will really ever end.

That's funny, cause I'm in Europe and I've never heard of it.

If you're driving a car you have to have papers, obviously. Otherwise, what are you talking about ?

In most (almost all) countries in the EU, a person above the age of 12 MUST be able to produce a form of legal identification (id card, passport or drivers license) when asked for by a police officer.

They need to do something about the crime rate in D.C.. ID's are nothing, They need to start arresting these thugs...

fluffygrrl · 06-05-2008, 03:20 PM

MUST in the sense that the police would muchly prefer it, usually act like it's a must, and in most cases there's no need to hassle the much friendlier, and much more useful, EU police.

There's no actual legal requirement.
